********
BOARD OF SELECTMEN
Patrick J. McNally, Chairman
In April, Patrick J. McNally was elected Chairman and Edward B.
Rauscher was elected Vice Chairman. While this past year presented
many challenges to the Board of Selectmen, overall it was a year of
success stories.
The Board and its leadership strove this year to involve the
citizens of Ipswich and the members of the various other boards and
committees in the decision making process of the Board of
Selectmen. To this end, the Board: took extra steps to notify
citizens of their opportunity to serve on various boards and
committees; encouraged the public to attend Board meetings and
express their opinions on the broad issues that the Board of
Selectmen deal with weekly; and continued the effort to promote
harmony among Town boards. One result was that the Board had a
much easier time filling vacant positions than in previous years -
the most difficult task was choosing one person out of a group of
highly qualified people!
Various Selectmen served on a number of other committees, including
the School Building Needs Committee, the Housing Partnership
Committee, the Access International Ad Hoc Committee, the Downtown
Partnership Committee, the Public Safety Committee, and others.
The Selectmen's activities on these committees helped open lines of
communication among the boards.
While some of the results of the Selectmen's efforts are not
readily visible to the citizens of Ipswich, many clearly are
obvious. For example, the swift action by the Board kept the Cable
Emergency Center open, and the easements at the Eagle Hill Landing
ensured that shellfishers and others would have a convenient boat
launching site. The Selectmen also worked with surrounding
communities to keep the Ipswich District Court physically in
Ipswich. The Board's emphasis on applying for State assistance has
resulted in long needed improvements to both the Green Street
Bridge and the Labor-In-Vain Bridge. And the Selectmen's support
of recycling led to the highest rating possible from the State.
The Selectmen's support of the efforts to revitalize Ipswich
resulted in additional grant moneys and in the creation of an
Economic Opportunity Area. New businesses are moving into downtown
Ipswich (EBSCO Publishing into the former OSRAM Sylvania buildings
and Ben Franklin Stores into the former Hill's building) . These
businesses and the long-standing businesses will benefit from grant
money to improve the streets and facades of downtown Ipswich.
The Board regularly met as Electric, Sewer, and Water Commissioners
and dealt with a variety of issues. The installation of the belt
filter press was completed at the Wastewater Treatment Plant; the
Town Hill Water Tank painting contract was awarded; and the Kimball
-48
Avenue sewer lateral will be constructed shortly. We continue to
enjoy relatively favorable electric rates, but are keeping a
concerned eye on the proposed utility restructuring regulations.
Finally, the Board of Selectmen reappointed Town Manager George
Howe to another three-year term.
********
TOWN MANAGER
George E. Howe
Nineteen Ninety-five was a year in which Ipswich began its economic
recovery from the recession begun three years prior. Planning
commenced under the first year Ipswich Partnership grant, and
Downtown Coordinator Nan Hagen was hired. A second year grant,
inclusive of funds for infrastructure improvements and loans for
new building facades, was awarded late in the year. EBSCO
purchased the former OSRAM Sylvania facilities; the Town
participated in a tax increment financing agreement with EBSCO as
a means to assist EBSCO in their upgrading of their newly acquired
facilities and contributing land for the planned Riverwalk.
Other capital projects commenced this year with substantial State
assistance were: replacement of the Labor-In-Vain Bridge and
repairs to the Green Street Bridge; plans for improvements to
Central Street, Lord Square, and the Depot Square/Washington
Street /Hammatt Street intersection; and plans for traffic signals
at the Route #l/Linebrook Road intersection. The Public Works and
Planning Directors also were busy with oversight of plans for the
commuter rail extension to Newburyport, the fish ladder, Town Wharf
improvements, and several resurfacing projects. The Selectmen took
easements at Eagle Hill Landing, by eminent domain, to protect the
Town's interests thereat.
Environmental issues continued to be costly for the Town. In mid-
summer, we were informed by the DEP that we must re-investigate the
contamination issue in the so-called "municipal" parking lot, which
is actually owned by several parties, and accordingly a study was
commenced in cooperation with the First National Bank of Ipswich.
We are hopeful we will be able to conclude our responsibilities in
this project in a cost-effective and prompt manner.
Our Wastewater Treatment Plant made several strides this year. The
belt filter press was completed, accepted, and treated the backlog
of sludge. Scheduled repairs were commenced on the joints of the
sewage force main. Plans were substantially completed for
construction of sewer laterals on Kimball Avenue and the former
High Street Annex. The State DEP consumed the entire year
reviewing our report (which they and the EPA mandated) , so no
further progress was made on that major item. Sewer rates were
increased 18% beginning in April. Working with the Coastal
Pollution Control Committee and the Merrimack Valley Regional
Planning Commission, we pursued grants for investigation of non-
-49-
point sources of pollution in the Great Neck area, and with the
State for a pumpout boat.
The Water Division's financial basis was changed, effective July
first, to a bookkeeping system similar to that of enterprise
funding. Water rates were increased 18% beginning in April to help
assure system revenues would cover expenses. Additional funding
was received for the painting of the interior of the Town Hill
Water Tank, and a contract was awarded late in the fall.
The Town's VAX computer system - in particular the integrated
financial management software system supported by the VAX system -
was the focus of considerable time and effort this year. Critics
urged that an independent study be commissioned to determine if the
Town should continue to work with the Access International system.
Sage Consultants conducted the study and concluded we should. To
assist us, we engaged New England Technologies as project
expediters, akin to a "clerk of the works," and the punchlist of
deliverables on the 1993 contract was substantially reduced,
although not completely eliminated. In the fall, the Town upgraded
most of its PC computer systems so that nearly all are in the 486
and 586 levels.
Staff was involved in brokering consensus on a plan for purchase of
a portion of the Don Bosco estate (should that property come up for
sale) ; and with respect to the involvement of Project Adventure and
the State DEM at the LaSalette Shrine.
Labor relations this past year, with noted exceptions, were
contentious. Although the Firefighters and the Town reached
agreement and funded contracts for FY92-94 and for FY95-96, the
year was spent largely involved in disciplinary, grievance, and
unfair labor practice dispute resolution. Nor was settlement
achieved with the public works and clerical (AFSCME) units. The
Police Association was under agreement for the entire year. A drug
and alcohol policy was drafted and implemented at year's end for
truck drivers and equipment operators covered under DOT rules.
In sum, we made steady progress in infrastructure and service
delivery issues; some old, familiar problems re-emerged and
required attention; and as a community we took major strides in
improving our economic well-being.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY - Charles D. Surpitski, Director
POLICE DEPARTMENT
Charles D. Surpitski, Chief of Police
The Police Department continued its aggressive training programs to
meet the new challenges of crime and the needs of the citizens.
Intensive patrol continued to keep the community safe and the
quality of community life at its expected high. Intensive
-50-
investigation when crime did occur resulted in numerous arrests and
successful court prosecutions. Crime prevention activities
continued and show promising signs of being effective in reducing
the opportunity and the desire to commit crime. Close working
relationships continued with all the public schools and other
groups whose members are directly effected by the human tragedy
crime often causes.
The Department began two promising initiatives in streamlining the
delivery of services and the overall management of the Department.
As the result of the receipt of a community policing grant, the
command staff was trained in the techniques of total quality
management, and a bicycle patrol was initiated. This patrol
brought officers closer to the citizens and the police into areas
not generally accessible to traditional patrol methods. TQM should
aid us in identifying and solving the perplexing problems that
continue to face our society and Town. A reduction in the fear of
crime and a joining with the community to institute tactics to
reduce this fear of crime remained as departmental priorities.
As the result of the budgetary process, the Department was
computerized. All police records, reports, calls for services,
budgets, and crime analysis is now done by computer. Due to
extensive training, vendor support, and the high calibre and
interest of police employees, the change has been extremely
successful.
Finally, we would like to thank you for your continued involvement
and support. Without this partnership our community would not be
as safe as it is.
The following is a list of the nature of complaints received:
Assaults 46

FIRE DEPARTMENT
Willard Maker, Jr., Fire Chief
The Fire Department is currently staffed 24 hours by 16 full-time
members and the Chief. Emergency response is supplemented by 2 7
-51-
call firefighters.
The Department installed a new radio system on a new frequency
which improved its communications capabilities.
The year 1995 was a productive year, with on-duty firefighters
performing routine maintenance of stations and equipment,
inspections of hydrants and street numbers, public fire safety
education training, and 918 fire safety inspections.
The Department applied for and received a grant from the State of
$4870 to be used for providing fire safety education for school
children.
The Department responded to 1228 requests for service. The
Department responds to a variety of problems in addition to fires,
such as medical emergencies, hazardous materials leaks, motor
vehicle accidents, electrical problems, and rescues. The
Department enhanced service to the community by purchasing a carbon
monoxide meter and developing a procedure to handle an increase in
carbon monoxide exposure in homes. We also offer improved service
in cases of flooding of homes.
Incidents are categorized as follows:
Structure Fires 34
Vehicle Fires 14
Emergency Medical 412

ANIMAL CONTROL
Harry W. Leno, Animal Control Officer
The year 199 5 continued to be an active one for the Animal Control
Department. Interestingly, this was the first year that feline
complaints equaled those of dogs. Calls regarding wild animals
continued and consumed large amounts of time to resolve.
Fortunately, there appears to be a reduction in the number of rabid
animals throughout the Town. Although this is a promising trend,
the citizens must remember that the disease has a tendency to run
in cycles with high and low points. In all areas of the Town, we
must be vigilant as the virus will continue to affect us and
animals.
The Department continued its education efforts directed at
responsible pet care and the challenges and issues surrounding
-52-
living in a relatively rural area.
As always, we are thankful to the citizens for their support,
especially the Ipswich Humane Group. Through their initiative this
year, the dog pound was improved with the addition of new screens
and a new insulated front door. Individual members continued to
insure quality care of the animals housed at the facility through
the donation of time, money, and expertise. The group is about to
embark on a major fund raising effort to increase the size of the
pound and provide an isolation area. These improvements are much
needed. We are most appreciative of their concern and effort.
The following is a list on the nature of complaints received:
Animals Adopted 10
Animals Killed by Cars 263
Citations Issued 92
Complaints Received 2982
Dog & Cat Bites 16
Rabies Quarantine Orders Issued 4 6
Cats & Dogs Euthanized 3

********
HARBORS DEPARTMENT
Charles D. Surpitski, Harbormaster
Charles B. Schwartz, Assistant Harbormaster
Michael Kenney, Assistant Harbormaster
The past year saw the continued heavy use of the Town's waterways
by resident and visiting boaters. Fortunately, there were no major
accidents. There was one accident involving a personal watercraft
and a boat. This resulted in only minor damage and no injury. As
these crafts become more popular, with more and more boats
traversing the area, the potential for tragedy exists. Continued
enforcement of the rules, pro-active visible patrol, education, and
responsible behavior are a must to keep the waterways safe.
The Department responded to a number of incidents that abated loss
of property and assisted boaters in distress. We also assisted and
were assisted by the United States Coast Guard and the
Massachusetts Environmental Police.
The Town Wharf was the beneficiary of significant improvements to
the ramp, parking lot, and surrounding area. Much of the money to
undertake these improvements was the result of renewed interest in
the facility by the State's Public Access Board, and the generosity
and commitment of area residents who formed a Wharf Beautif ication
Committee. We expect more improvements to beautify and make the
wharf more user friendly in the future.
-53-
The shoaling of the Ipswich River continued to make it difficult to
navigate the river at low tide. This shoaling resulted in the loss
of U. S. Coast channel marking at the river's mouth. This has been
assumed by the Department.
The Department began a volunteer harbor watch program. This
citizen group will help identify the problems on our waterways and
offer viable solutions that could be implemented. Additionally,
they were trained in CPR, in the use of the equipment carried on
the boat, and how they can be of assistance in emergency
situations.
During the year the following permits were issued:
Mooring Permits 543
Launching Permits. . . 179
********
SHELLFISH DEPARTMENT
Philip A. Kent, Commissioner
The shellfish resource remained good throughout the year. The
number of seed clams observed indicate that this should be the case
in the ensuing year as well.
The Department worked closely with the Merrimack Valley Planning
Commission which received a grant for a clam seeding project. As
the seed is raised, it is to given to the Town who then places it
in less productive areas. The project is an exciting one with
great potential for the continued abundance of the resource.
The Town continued its action to secure the Eagle Hill Landing as
the disembark and landing point for clammers. Several meetings
were held with neighborhood residents to address their concerns.
It is expected that reasonable compromise will balance their issues
with those of the clammers and those governing the overall use of
the landing.
There were no closures during the year due to the red tide.
However, pollution continues to be a concern and caused several
closures of the beds after significant rainfall. The Department
continues to work with the groups responsible for solving this
problem.
During the year the following permits were issued:
Clamming Licenses
Family 158
Residents 120
Non-Residents Yearly. . .56
Non-Residents Daily.... 18
Commercial 120

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
David R. Clements, Director
John P. Poirier, Asst. Director
The year 1995 was a busy year for Emergency Management. The
Department was activated and opened during several major
emergencies caused by the expected effects of storms. During these
incidents, the Department was prepared to handle emergencies as
they developed and was in constant contact with state and local
officials.
The Town of Ipswich was spared major problems. We are prepared to
deal with these problems by coordinated and careful planning. When
necessary, we activated the Coordinated Emergency Management Plan
(CEMP) to control and abate any incident that occurred.
Twenty-five hundred booklets, "What to do in an Emergency" were
distributed to all public buildings and all local banks for use by
Ipswich residents. They were obtained from the Federal Emergency
Management Agency.
This Department continued to train its personnel in all phases of
emergency management. The Director attended monthly meetings and
training sessions at Area I Headquarters in Tewksbury. The
Auxiliary Police met on a monthly basis to maintain and update
their special skills.
The local office of Emergency Management is located in the Middle
School and is staffed on Monday evenings from 7 PM to 9 PM. If we
can be of any assistance at any time day or night, please contact
the Ipswich Police Department.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS - Armand T. Michaud, Director
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Armand T. Michaud, Manager
The Public Works Department coordinates the activities of the
following divisions: Public Works Administration, Highway,
Cemetery/ Parks Division, Equipment Maintenance, Building
Maintenance Division, Transfer Station, Rubbish Disposal,
Recycling, and Snow and Ice Control. Each Division is charged with
particular responsibilities relating to its duties. When
additional manpower is required to perform specific tasks,
personnel are interchanged within the divisions.
Below is a summary of the work completed by each of the Public
Works Divisions:
-55-
SNOW AND ICE CONTROL
The Public Works Divisions combine their work forces during the
winter months. The work consists of plowing roads, hauling snow,
sanding and salting roadways, filling sand barrels, cleaning catch
basins, clearing snow away from hydrants, and answering
miscellaneous complaints. Other personnel assisting the Public
Works crews during the height of the snow storms were from the
Cemetery, Water, and Water Treatment Departments.
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE DIVISION
Robert Hetnar, Diesel Mechanic
All Public Works vehicles are serviced and repaired at the Town
Garage. At present there are 54 pieces of motorized equipment that
must be kept in good operating condition to insure its availability
when needed. Operation cost records showing maintenance and
gas/oil expenses on each vehicle can be ascertained from the Public
Works Administration Office in the Town Hall. A Ford F3 50 truck
was purchased this year.
BUILDING MAINTENANCE DIVISION
Routine maintenance and minor repairs were performed at the Town
Hall and Municipal Garage throughout the year.
HIGHWAY DIVISION
Norman Stone, Foreman
The Highway Division which is the largest in the Public Works
Department is charged with the maintenance and repairing of the
Town's streets and drainage systems. The winter schedule consists
mainly of Snow and Ice Control and routine maintenance which does
not require excavations. During the other three seasons, the men
are kept busy with projects varying from road construction to
street sweeping.
Normal maintenance consists of patching streets, repairing the
Town's drains, repairing sidewalks, and maintenance on all signs.
All catch basins in Town were cleaned. Several plugged drains were
cleared.
Fellows Road, Lakemans Lane, Market Street, Hammatt Street, Kennedy
Drive, Heard Drive, Hodgkins Drive, and Dudley Way were hot topped.
North Ridge Road and half of Town Farm Road were reclaimed and hot
topped. Crack Sealing was done on several areas in town.
Street sweeping was performed twice a week in the downtown area
from April to December. All Town roads and sidewalks were swept in
the spring to rid them of winter sand deposits.
Crosswalks, parking spaces, and traffic lines were painted in the
downtown areas. Crosswalks were painted with white tiger stripes.
-56-
Also 142,239 lineal feet of center lines and fog lines were
painted.
All gravel roads were graded twice in 1994 (April and November) .
Other projects included setting up voting booths for the election
and setting up for the April Annual Town Meeting and the October
Special Town Meeting.
Labor-in-Vain Bridge and Green Street Bridge should be completed by
September 1996. The stop lights at Linebrook Road and Route 1
should be done the Spring of 1996 or Fall of 1996. The repaving of
the downtown area from the Fire Station to the railroad bridge
should be done either the fall of 1996 or spring of 1997.
FORESTRY DIVISION
The Forestry Division was started in July 1994 with two men.
They will be doing the usual Forestry work plus line clearing for
the Electric Department.
TRANSFER STATION
The Transfer Station seems to be running well. Recycling bins for
cans, glass, paper, magazines, cardboard, tires, and batteries are
on the site. Approximately 350 people use this facility per week.
There is an area for white goods and metals. Leaves and yard
debris may be hauled there year around. There is a Salvation Army
bin for used clothing. There were three paint collections last
fall (Sept., Oct., and Nov.). These were done by appointment only.
Paint collection will start up again in April.
SANITATION
There is a new policy that one large item (excepting white goods or
metals) may be left on the regular trash day. There will no longer
be a Spring and Fall big rubbish day. Curbside recycling for
newspaper, cans, and glass began in Ipswich on July 13, 1992.
Plastic (#1 and #2) curbside recycling began the week of January
10, 1994. Curbside collection of corrugated cardboard and co-
mingled paper started July 1, 1995.
********
CEMETERIES /PARKS DEPARTMENT
James E. Graffum, Superintendent
General grounds maintenance was performed on all areas under this
department's jurisdiction. New fencing and repairs to old fencing
was accomplished around the tennis courts at Bialek Park.
Infield material was added as needed to all ball fields. Lime and
fertilizer was applied to playing fields and sections of the
cemeteries. Brush around the perimeter of the New Highland
-57-
Cemetery was removed.
All Town commons and open spaces were maintained.
The department was responsible for site excavation and utility
hookup for the new "Field House" at Bialek Park.
There were one hundred two (102) funerals in 1995.
REVENUE
Perpetual Care $ 3,500.00
Sale of Lots 5,600.00
Foundations 5,099.50
Tent Rental 1,950.00
Openings 30.950.00

SOLID WASTE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
James W. Temple
With the end of 1995, we completed our five and a half years of
recycling. Below listed improvements were realized during this
year:
Recycling tonnage increased for prime recycling commodities; i.e.,
newsprint, other papers, glass, metal cans and plastics from 625 to
798 tons for FY95. Plastic tonnage increased from 18 to 31 tons.
DPW arranged for a container to be placed by Waste Management at
the Transfer Station for collection of corrugated cardboard.
DPW also had approximately 1025 tons of brush chipped at the
Transfer Station for landscaping and composting with the tub
grinder purchased by DEP and operated by the Town of Marblehead.
Total recycling and composting, as a percent of the waste stream,
won the Town a report card grade of "A" as assigned by DEP.
Adding combined papers, i.e., newspaper, junk mail, stationery,
etc, in July 1995, is a major improvement. Curbside tonnage is up
73 tons or 19.5%. Curbside recycling cost is now $31.42/ton due to
increased tonnage and reduced Waste Management route cost. The
cost for trash is now $82.14/ton.
A group has been organized to support the recycling effort in
Ipswich. This group of neighborhood captains or coordinators are
resource persons for households in their neighborhoods.
In the fall of 1995, Ipswich started monthly collections of oil
based and latex paint at the newly constructed paint shed at the
Transfer Station. The intent is to reuse what we can in Town and
-58-
send the remainder for recycling. A DEP grant made this facility
possible. Paints and related products which cannot be reused or
recycled will be collected at regular household hazardous waste
collections.
ISWAC has worked successfully with the Ipswich Schools facilitating
their active participation and receipt of information.
DEP grants were secured for one roll-off for utilization at the
Transfer Station, for a paint recycling facility, and for an
educational grant to provide for publishing and distributing our
recycling calendar to each household.
Ipswich offers residents one of the finest recycling programs in
the state. Our major challenge now is to keep aware of
improvements in neighboring towns which we might incorporate and to
keep Ipswich motivated to continue and improve our rates of
recycling.

ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
Dana P. Jordan, Chairman
The number of petitions during 1995 fell from 73 to 71. There were
46 requests for Special Permits, 40 of which were granted, two
withdrawn, three dismissed, and one denied. Of the 24 requests for
Variances, twenty were granted, one was withdrawn, and three were
denied. There was one appeal of the Building Inspector's decision
which was upheld.
In May, the fees for residential applications were increased from
$35.00 per application to $75.00; and the fees for commercial
applications were increased from $70.00 to $75.00, resulting in a
uniform application fee of $75.00 per petition.
After 3 5 years of devoted service to the Board, Daniel B. Lunt,
Jr., resigned. Lillian Grayton, formerly Alternate Member, was
appointed as a full member of the Board. Doug Watson joined the
Board as an Alternate Member. At the Board's annual meeting in
June, Dana P. Jordan was re-elected Chairman and Keith B. Hughes
was elected Vice Chairman. We continue to thank Ruth Barton for
her administrative support to the Board.

PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
Glenn C. Gibbs, Director
The Department of Planning & Development is responsible for guiding
the development and conservation of land in the Town of Ipswich,
both through the regulatory process and through the development and
implementation of long-range plans. It does this in part by
providing support and guidance for each of the boards and
commissions within its directorate: Planning Board, Master Plan
Commission, Conservation Commission, Historical Commission, and the
Housing Partnership Committee (reports on their activities are
given below) . During the past calendar year, the Department
continued to give special emphasis to planning efforts aimed at
strengthening the local economy. Listed below are some of the
initiatives undertaken in 1995.
* Directed the successful effort to establish downtown Ipswich
as an Economic Opportunity Area (EOA) and to designate EBSCO
Publishing as a certified project.
* Prepared successful grant application requesting $400,000 to:
(a) implement streetscape improvements to Market Street; (b)
conduct a parking management plan for the Market Street lot
and the parking area along the river; (c) conduct a promotions
plan; and (d) to fund organizational development activities of
the Partnership.
* Assisted Ipswich Partnership in most aspects of its operation,
particularly with the preparation of proposals and the
selection of consultants for the various physical
improvements being planned (i.e., streetscape improvements,
facade improvements, design of riverwalk) .
* In conjunction with DPW, worked with designers and affected
property owners on proposed street, curbing and sidewalk
improvements to Central Street corridor (Hammatt Street to
High Street bridge) .
* Worked with MBTA to secure commitment to reconfigure
Washington/Hammatt Street intersection as a component of the
Newburyport commuter rail extension project.
* Continued the preparation of an action-oriented and
comprehensive strategic economic development plan, which will
focus on all business and industrially-zoned areas in the
Town.
* Through the efforts of summer intern Becky Siebens, developed
a land conservation stewardship plan for the Town.
-61-
* In cooperation with local business and industry leaders,
served as advocate and point of referral for businesses
looking to expand or relocate in Ipswich.
* Continued to work with the Open Space Committee, the owners
and others to identify Town interests relative to the
disposition of the LaSalette property, and possible Town
acquisition of a portion of the Don Bosco property.
The efforts of the Department Staff on the above projects were
greatly enhanced by the strong support and assistance of the boards
and commissions in the Planning Directorate. They deserve thanks
for their excellent work.

PLANNING BOARD
Leslie F. Brooks, Chairman
The Planning Board had another productive year in 1995. Membership
remained stable until the end of the year, with the Board
consisting of Leslie Brooks, Wayne King, Tim Perkins, Jack Beagan,
and Patricia Hagadorn. David Moynihan remained our associate
member, and Joan Vontzalides continued as Planning Assistant. Tim
Perkins resigned from the Board at the end of 1995, and was
replaced by David Moynihan, leaving a vacancy in the associate
member's spot to be filled in 1996.
The Board reviewed three subdivisions in 1995. These were Red Oaks
Estates, a seven-lot development located off outer Linebrook Road;
Egret Estate, a one-lot subdivision on Great Neck; and Hood Farm
II, an eight-lot addition to Hood Farm, located off Boxford Road.
Of these, Red Oaks Estates and Egret Estate were approved, while
negotiations regarding Hood Farm II are continuing as of this
writing. In addition, the Board monitored construction of the
Ashley Lane subdivision, which was purchased by a new developer in
the fall of 1995.
The Board also took numerous other regulatory actions, including
review and approval of five applications for site plan review, and
the determination of adequacy of access for an additional single
family residence on Belcher Hill Way. This determination was based
upon Rules and Regulations for Determination of Adequacy of Access
which were formulated and adopted by the Board during the summer of
this year. The Board also reviewed and approved 32 ANR (Approval
Not Required Under Subdivision Control) plans. As in previous
years, the Board continued to monitor the application of herbicides
and pesticides at the Ipswich Country Club.
The Planning Board was successful in its efforts to implement
zoning changes at the 1995 Special Fall Town Meeting. Changes to
the Zoning By-Law which were approved include modification of the
language of the municipal parking lot exemption by-law; updating
the table of use regulations; revising the dimensional requirements
and boundaries of the Highway Business (HB) district; revising the
-62-
definition of lot density to largely exclude wetlands when
calculating density for multi-family dwellings; clarifying lot
width and frontage requirements in the RRA and RRC districts.
With a number of projects currently in progress, the Board
anticipates a productive year in 1996.

MASTER PLAN COMMISSION
Jim Lidington, Chairman
The year 1995 was a year of transition for the Master Plan
Commission. After laying groundwork for the creation of the
Ipswich Partnership and revitalization of the downtown in 1994, the
Commission reorganized and refocused in 1995 on its traditional
role of long- range planning and writing a Master Plan for the
Town .
The Commission began the year with a full twelve-member complement,
representing the town boards and committees concerned with long-
range planning: Jan Reitsma and Fred Scopa represented the Board
of Selectmen, Carolyn Britt and Barbara Ostberg represented the
Conservation Commission, Tom Mayo and Richard Kallman represented
the Planning Board, Lynn Kettleson and John Bruni represented the
Zoning Board of Appeals, Christopher Doktor and Jim Lidington
represented the Historical Commission, Gene Hailson represented the
Finance Committee, and Kenneth Blades represented the Housing
Authority.
In February, David Standley, chairman of the Temporary Sewer
Advisory Committee (TSAC) , reported to the Master Plan Commission
on the relationship of growth to sewer extension policies. He
expressed to the Commission the need for a growth policy for
Ipswich and that the Master Plan Commission is uniquely charged and
capable of developing such a plan. Later in the winter Glenn
Hazelton, chairman of the Open Space Committee, reported to the
Master Plan Commission regarding the open space planning process
and recent updates to the Open Space Plan. He also saw the need
for a growth management plan (work on this plan is underway) .
In June, the Commission began reorganizing and refocusing in
earnest as the transitioning of downtown revitalization
responsibilities and manpower to the Ipswich Partnership was now
completed. The Commission established focus groups in the
following areas: Local Economy, Culture, Land Use/Growth Planning,
Town Infrastructure, and Neighborhoods. The goals of these groups
are to foster communication and cooperation among the various
organizations that are working within their focus, and to develop
appropriate portions of a Master Plan that reflect the wishes of
Ipswich residents and the expertise of the working organizations in
town.
-63-
In September, Nan Hagen, Managing Director for the Ipswich
Partnership, reported to the Master Plan Commission on the
Partnership's strategy for revitalizing the downtown. She stressed
that a strong community-based organization must be developed to
ensure that the downtown turnaround continues when the
Partnership's government funding expires in two years. Later in
the fall, members attended an open planning session sponsored by
the Partnership. The session continued the emphasis on community
participation in the downtown revitalization process initiated by
the Master Plan Commission in 1994.
As we enter 1996, the Master Plan Commission continues its efforts
to foster communication and cooperation and its work on a Master
Plan for Ipswich. The first section of the Master Plan, the
Strategic Economic Development Plan, is currently scheduled for a
public review and completion in 1996. The next major section, the
Residential Growth Plan, is scheduled for public review in 1996,
and completion in 1997.
The members of the Master Plan Commission appreciate the
participation of the other working organizations in town and the
outstanding contribution by the volunteers on our sub-committees
and focus groups. We wish to also acknowledge the continual
support and guidance from our Town Planner, Glenn Gibbs, and
everyone else who has contributed to the success of our planning
efforts for the Town of Ipswich.

The town's share of filing fees collected in 1995 amounted to
$5,442.50, an increase of $2,425.50 from 1994. $1,825.00 was
collected in fines, an increase of $1,600.00 from 1994.
One important project in 1995 was the issuance of an Order of
Conditions for work on the Sylvania dam and fish ladder which could
-64-
see the return of spawning blueback herring and may also see the
construction of a footbridge spanning the dam. Officials broke
ground for this project on November 20, 1995.
A scaled-down, four-unit project at Avery and Mitchell Streets was
re-submitted in 1995 and the Commission will act on that early in
1996. A former Notice of Intent for a much larger project was
denied by the Commission in 1995 and was not appealed. The second
project which was denied by the Commission was for a single-family
dwelling in the outer Linebrook Road area. The Commission's denial
was appealed to the DEP which will act on the matter some time
early in 1996.
Mike Seekamp completed his first year as the new Conservation Agent
and has been of great assistance to the Commission. He came to us
with a knowledge of wetlands and soils, and the Commission is
grateful for his expertise. He is chained to his desk (except for
site inspections) , and only members of the Commission have the
combination to the lock.
This will be my (Lillian's) last year with the Commission, and I
will not be seeking re-appointment in 1996 after 15 years of
service and almost 14 years as the Commission's Chairman. I would
like to take this opportunity to thank Mike, present and past
members of the Commission, the people at Town Hall, the citizens of
Ipswich and others with whom I have dealt with. It has been a
labor of love to serve the Town of Ipswich and to help preserve
some of the natural resources of the town we settled in 24 years
ago.

HISTORICAL COMMISSION
Marjorie Robie, Chairman
The Historical Commission is responsible for preserving the
historical assets of Ipswich. Our responsibility for preserving
our famous houses is well-known. For the first time this year, we
used a new preservation tool, a historic structure report. This
details the evolution of the architecture of the house and the
history of the families who have lived there. Our plan is to
complete such a report on all our houses. This was very helpful in
the Wade House renovations. We also completed the family history
research and structural study on the Knowlton House.
Preparing applications for acquiring National Register status of
our houses is another tool we have for preservation. This year we
focused on achieving this recognition for the mansion at Don Bosco.
The Mary Conley Preservation Award went this year to the
McCauslands who own and preserve the Lummus House on High Street.
We also acquire historic documents and artifacts. This year we
worked to preserve and restore a unique map of the outer Linebrook
area. We also acquired original marriage records from the early
-65-
1700's which have been returned to the vault.
Our volunteers are still working on transcribing the Vital Records
from 1850 to 1900. Bill and Barbara Waitt have almost completed
the records of births. This work is being carried out on two
computers which were donated by New England Life Insurance Company
through the efforts of George Jewell.
The Commission has also been working with the Downtown Partnership
to make our history available to our visitors. We provided the
Visitor Center with a booklet on our early houses and began work on
a similar booklet on the shoe industry in Ipswich. The initial
steps were taken to reintroduce the skill of making pillow lace
which was so important in early Ipswich.
Two of our members left the Commission, Art Dioli and Don Curiale.
We wish to thank them for their years of service to Ipswich and
welcome our new members, Robert Simons and Peter Dziadose.

HOUSING PARTNERSHIP COMMITTEE
Susan Monahan, Acting Chairperson
Throughout 1995 the Housing Partnership Committee continued to
provide assistance to first-time low and moderate income homebuyers
in Ipswich. The Committee was fortunate to have Monique Menten on
board to coordinate and administer two different grant programs.
These programs include a downpayment assistance program using
Federal funds through the Essex County HOME Program, and a Soft-
Second Loan Program using funds from the Massachusetts Housing
Partnership Fund. Ms. Menten coordinates these programs out of the
Planning & Development Office in Town Hall. These valuable
homebuying programs would not be available without her dedicated
and skilled assistance!
Mid-year, Carl Gardner and Micky Karpa, previous members of the
Partnership, left to form a non-profit company called HomeFront,
Inc. HomeFront' s goal is to acquire property in Ipswich and the
surrounding communities and create additional affordable
homeownership and rental opportunities. HomeFront 's first project
involves rehabilitating a two-family home on Washington Street
which was seriously damaged by fire last spring. The Partnership
has earmarked monies from the HOME Program to help fund this
project.

A variety of programs, services, and activities were organized for
-66-
children, teens, adults, and senior citizens. Included were many
recreation offerings as well as community-based social services.
Family events included the July 4th Parade & Field Day at the VFW,
the annual Marathon, a Triathalon organized by Rick Silverman, a
Halloween Parade & program, and the Memorial Day Parade organized
by local veterans' groups. Cooperation with the Ipswich Business
Association again facilitated Santa's arrival by boat at Town Wharf

that included two puppet shows, the Community Band, the UNH Caravan
Show, and a Teddy Bear Picnic.
Work continued on a new concrete block storage building at Bialek
Park with volunteer and town employee efforts to construct walls,
roof, and storage area floor. A rental trailer was used during the
summer for playground and day camp equipment and supplies.
The Town assumed full responsibility for preparation and
maintenance of the Don Bosco pool which necessitated expenditures
for outside contracted labor and training of employees to assume
these duties in the future. Lifeguards for all users of the pool
were assigned by the Recreation Department.
The Memorial Building continued to be used by many local agencies
including Girl Scouts, youth sports organizations, dog training
groups, and the Shellfish Advisory Board. It also housed the
Recreation Office, Friday evening Teen Center programs, and a
variety of after school activities for middle school youngsters.
The Recreation Director certified several youth sports coaches
through evening training sessions. Summer playground, swim, and
camp staffers received CPR training through the Police Department.
Numerous permits were issued from the Recreation Office for use of
ball fields, tennis courts, and lighted outdoor facilities.
The seven-member Recreation Commission and Recreation Director met
regularly throughout the year to discuss programs, facilities, and
policies as well as to plan for the future. Members volunteered
often to assist at a number of programs and offerings.

********
TEEN SERVICES
Marcia Ford, Youth Director
Teen Services in Ipswich are dedicated to improving the lives of
Ipswich youth. A number of varied programs were provided to meet
recreational, academic, and social needs of this unique population.
The Friday evening drop-in center offered informal activities for
younger teens with programs designed and governed by the Ipswich
Teen Board comprised of older students. Occasional dances featured
local teen musicians and D.J.'s. Monthly trips for movies, shopping
and outdoor recreation sites were offered for middle-schoolers and
supervised by School and Recreation staff members. Photo I.D.'s
were continued to identify local teens and facilitate follow-up
work for occasional discipline issues.
"Social Stop" programs were organized for small groups of same-sex
youngsters who met weekly to discuss life issues, learn from each
other, and participate in a variety of organized activities such as
cooking projects, games, outdoor adventures, and field trips. The
Director also helped facilitate peer leadership groups at the
Middle School who were trained to assist their peers as well as 5th
grade leaders at Doyon. "Girls are Great," run in conjunction with
Girl Scouts, met twice monthly for a variety of social activities.
Community service projects were organized for volunteer teens as
well as some referred through the local courts and juvenile
diversion programs. They were involved in cleaning and painting
projects at the Memorial Building and outdoor work at park sites
as well as raking and shovelling services for senior citizens who
requested assistance through the Council on Aging.
After-school tutoring programs were offered twice weekly with the
help of high school and adult volunteers from the community. An
intern from Gordon College helped with tutoring, Project Adventure
activities at the High School, and a number of small group
construction projects. An intern from Cambridge College led some
girls group activities and crisis intervention sessions. Teen
alcohol awareness groups were led by an intern from Lesley College,
and another Gordon College student worked with tutoring and small
group projects.
A Community Youth Review Board of concerned service providers from
local schools, churches, youth agencies, and counselling
organizations met monthly to discuss current programs and community
issues.

COUNCIL ON AGING
Diane Mitchell, Director of Senior Services
A wide variety of programs for senior citizens of Ipswich were
provided under the umbrella of Council on Aging services:
A drop-in center operated weekdays, 8-4:00, from a storefront
location on Central Street and offered reading materials, games,
puzzles, refreshments, and informal gatherings for socialization
and organized programs throughout the week. Three part-time
receptionists welcomed guests, answered the phone, and assisted the
director in daily operations of the center.
Regular on-site programs included a performing choral group, the
"Silver Strands", a book discussion group, a travel club, card
playing sessions, crafts groups, and movies, as well as weekly
blood pressure clinics and monthly health screenings. Tickets were
sold there for day trips sponsored by the Recreation Department.
Off -site programs included a swimming program, a senior exercise
class, line dancing classes, and a walking club.
Special offerings included inter-generational programs, speakers on
a variety of health, financial and legal issues, social gatherings
for special observances, and classes for a wide range of interests.
A monthly newsletter written by the Director reached 1600 elder
households through support of local advertisers and a postage grant
from the Executive Office of Elder Affairs.
Other grants from SeniorCare, Inc. and The Coburn Charitable
Society provided a part-time Outreach Coordinator to address needs
of homebound and isolated elders. A corps of over 40 volunteers
provided services to well over 200 elders and almost 11,000 miles
of transportation for appointments, errands, and COA activities.
Others services included social visits, phone calls, and help with
chores and repairs as well as guidance in making personal, medical,
housing and financial decisions. A new Caregivers Support Group
helped those dealing with frail elders to air common concerns and
receive advice from professional presenters.
Town contributions to Action, Inc. again provided fuel assistance
to the needy who met qualification standards. Contributions to
Senior Home Health Care Services provide support for elderly still
living in their homes who needed outside support to facilitate
their independent living arrangements.
A seven-member council met monthly to review programs and
operations and plan additional offerings. A support group, the
Friends of Ipswich Elders, raised funds to provide special events
and equipment . They sponsored a volunteer recognition dinner in
June and the annual Senior Christmas Party at the VFW.

UTILITIES DEPARTMENT - Donald R. Stone, Sr. , Director
Electric Division - Donald R. Stone, Sr. , Manager
Generation at the Power Plant for 1995 was 3,146,650 kWh. The 1995
annual peak was 17,200 KW, and was reached on February 6, 1995, at
7:09 PM. Distribution continued a maintenance and upgrade program
that has been established over the last twelve years. The
Department sold 78,462,213 kWh, a decrease of 6% from 1994. The
total number of electric meters installed is 6,158, an increase of
2% over 1994. The annual study of municipal electric departments
in Massachusetts showed that our residential rates remain among the
lowest in the state, ranking number four for the 12 -month period
that ended in October 1995.

Wastewater Division - John Quigley, Superintendent
The year 1995 marked the first full year of operation of the new
belt filter press at the Wastewater Treatment Plant on Fowlers
Lane. A total of 1,973 cubic yards of sludge was transported to
the compost facility for further treatment. This compares to 1,817
cubic yards delivered in 1994. The new press was able to process
this volume of sludge in 44% less time than the volume processed in
1994.
-70-
Another area of improvement due to the new press was the water
quality. Due to the cleaner effluent, the treatment facility was
able to decrease chlorine usage 30% and still achieve the fecal
coliform kill required by our permit.
Overall, 1995 saw the number of NPDES (National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System) permit violations decrease 60% over the
previous year. The violations which occurred in 1995 were mostly
related to dissolved oxygen levels during the summer months and the
chlorine residuals during the first three months of 1995. Both of
these areas are being addressed by the plant upgrade which will be
in the design phase in 1996.
Work on the force main from the Town Wharf Pump Station to the
Treatment Plant began in the fall of 1995 and is continuing into
1996. This preventive maintenance is expected to improve the
integrity of the force main so that during high flow conditions the
pipe can handle more than it currently takes. This should decrease
the number of instances of overflows which occur at the Town Wharf
and other spots in the collection system.

IPSWICH PUBLIC LIBRARY - Eleanor M. Gaunt, Head Librarian
Circulation
Annual growth in library circulation continued to climb in 1995,
reaching a total of 108,704 items, an increase of 111 over 1994.
Significant growth occurred in interlibrary loans: we borrowed
2,101 items for Ipswich patrons, an increase of nearly 500. We
issued 878 new library cards, for total library registration of
11,014, corrected to 9,659. Visitors from as far away as
California were logged into the Archives Room for a total of 640
registrations .

Library Improvement Project
A favorable vote was cast at the October 23, 1995, Special Town
Meeting authorizing $25,000 for the development of schematic
drawings for library renovation and an addition. A Building
Committee was named, and a Request for Proposals was developed for
design services. Responses were received from some 3 area
architectural firms. Copies of the Building Program were
distributed at a briefing held on November 22, and 11 formal
proposals were received the following week.
Through the rest of the year, the Building Committee reviewed the
11 proposals in detail and narrowed the field to three finalists,
with architect selection expected to be made early in 1996. It is
the intention of the Board to apply for State Construction Funds.
Friends of the Library
Membership in the "Friends" has broken all previous records. There
are now 32 members whose active support permits us to offer a
total of seven museum passes (three were added in 1995) . These
popular passes were used for 707 visits. The Friends' Ipswich
Authors series was very well received last year. A publication
reception for Kitty (Adele) Crockett Robertson's memoir, The
Orchard , featured several speakers. The ongoing support of the
Friends allows us to provide these "extras" that really enhance our
program of service to the community.
Gifts
Another generous donation to the Library was received from the late
Leonard R. Heurlin. EBSCO Publishing presented the Children's
Library with a multimedia PC and printer running several of their
popular CD-ROM databases.
Memorial Books
Donations to the Library's Memorial Book Fund were received in
memory of Marjorie Quandt, William H. Gysan, Leo and Matthew
Murphy, and Helen Frey.
Children's Department
This year the Children's Room at the Library held year-round
programs. The series began with "Science Can Be Fun" held at the
First Church. Over 75 children and adults attended this program
based upon the five senses. Next came an origami workshop where
every participant went home with wonderful creations. During the
winter on Saturday afternoons, chess lessons were available to
everyone interested. The Summer Reading program, "Reading is
Natural", encouraged children to develop an awareness of their
environment. John the "K" was back again by popular demand. Also
in keeping with this summer theme were the Ha'penny Theater with
Pat Spaulding and the "Curious Creatures" program of Beverly.
These activities kept our summer exciting.
Three story times weekly, as well as visiting classes and after
school activities, kept the circulation active and the young people
involved.

ACCOUNTING OFFICE/TOWN ACCOUNTING
Donna M. Walsh, CPA, Finance Director/Town Accountant
The Town Accountant's Office consists of two full-time staff and a
full-time Town Accountant, who also serves as Finance Director.
The Accounting Office is responsible for processing the payroll for
all employees, processing invoices for vendor payments, and
preparing all W-2's and 1099 's at year end in accordance with IRS
Regulations.
The Accounting Office maintains all of the accounting records for
the Town's revenue and expenditures, ensures that reconciliations
are performed between applicable Town departments, assists in
providing information on benefits available to employees, and
maintains the Town's financial computer system.
The Town Accountant also coordinates the annual independent audit
of the Town's financial statements which was last completed for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1994.
The financial results for FY95 were very good. This was due to an
upturn in the economy which resulted in good revenue collections,
especially in the areas of motor vehicle excise, prior year real
estate taxes, and licenses and permits. In addition, interest
income on invested funds was high due to higher interest rates.
Town departments continue to work on the installation of the new
computer software which integrates all Town, School, and Utility
financial functions.

TOWN CLERK
Frances A. Richards
The Town Clerk's office is responsible for recording and updating
the Town census which provides the information for the voter list,
street list, jury list, school list and dog list. Among the many
duties performed by the Town Clerk's office, those relating to
recording, preserving and binding all the vital records for the
Town, are the most significant. Numerous requests for this infor-
mation are received through the mail, over the counter, and by
telephone from genealogists, researchers, state agencies and the
military services. The office continues to process all the
licenses for the Board of Selectmen as well as the usual hunting,
fishing, dog and clam licenses. All the data processing and
printing is done in office with the Town Clerk's computer program.
In April, the state-wide computer system, better known as the Voter
Registration Information System (VRIS) , was installed in the Town
Clerk's office connecting 350 cities and towns with the office of
the Secretary of the Commonwealth. This system provides informa-
tion directly to the election officials in Boston and the 350
interconnected cities and towns as mandated by the National Voter
Registration Act (NVRA) .
The Town Planner and the Town Clerk spent many hours updating the
base map and zoning map for the Town. There were many changes in
the past five years with all the new streets and subdivisions.
-74-
The new map was included in the 1995 street list. Maps have been
printed and are for sale in the Clerk's office. Many thanks to
Glenn Gibbs for his assistance in completing this worth-while
project.
And finally, unofficially, but a vital function is performed by the
Town Clerk's office because of a natural tendency of citizens to
seek out the Town Clerk as a source for information, aid or
assistance in regard to almost any aspect of town affairs, services
or functions.
Once again, a great deal of appreciation to my dedicated clerk, Lee
Graves and to Finance Director Donna Walsh for all her support.
Also my sincere thanks to the wonderful group of senior volunteers
from RSVP who gathered together one morning in the conference room
and opened and filed thousands of census returns. Great Job!
Many thanks to former Town Clerk, Isobel Coulombe, who takes care
of some of the genealogy reguests that require additional research
at the Library.

arrange for special programs in the schools. Local artists (visual
and performing) were invited to come and learn of opportunities and
to share information about how their work might benefit the
students. This is typical of the facilitating role the Council
would like to play in the community.
The annual Ipswich Art Exhibit to showcase the work of Ipswich
artists was held at the Middle School cafeteria on Friday, July 28
to Sunday, July 30, coinciding with Olde Ipswich Days. At the
opening reception, prizes totalling $675 were presented to Joan
Jillson, Ingrid Johnson, Kristen Ledson, Hideaki Miyamura, Brian
O'Neill, Steve Smith (Merit Awards) , and Donald Freyleue, Gina
Jackson, and Peter McLaughlin (Honorable Mentions) .
On the grant scene, Ipswich received an allocation of $4912 in
state lottery funds from the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
Through the normal application process, the Ipswich Cultural
Council regranted these funds to ten local artist applicants,
including the Ipswich Cultural Council for the annual art show.
Projects in humanities and sciences, not just arts, are eligible
for funds. Awareness of the grants and project possibilities seems
to be slowly reaching into the community, as indicated by the
growing number and range of applicants.

The Council meets monthly throughout the year, with summer and fall
being the most active periods. New members are being sought.

OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE
Glenn Hazelton, Chairman
The future use of the large church properties in Ipswich, Don
Bosco, LaSalette, and Notre Dame, and protection of other large
holdings, continues to be a major focus of the Open Space
Committee. The Salesian Society has been cooperating fully with
the Town in efforts to ensure the continued availability for
recreation and open space uses of a substantial portion of the Don
Bosco property. The LaSalette property is to be sold, and the
Committee with Town officials has been encouraging the submittal of
proposals to the Order for uses which will maximize the retention
of public usage and open space protection. Members of the
Committee fostered and participated in an environment evaluation of
the Notre Dame property under the guidance of the Essex County
Greenbelt Association to assist the Sisters of Notre Dame in their
perception of the property. Steps have also been taken to improve
communication with other owners of open spaces in Ipswich.
The Committee has also been involved in the review of two
subdivision development plans proposed to the Planning Board under
the Open Space Bylaw, and was instrumental in substantially
improving the application of that bylaw. Communications between
the Committee and the Planning Board have improved during the last
year. At this time, a subcommittee of both groups is working to
establish a set of guidelines that more clearly define the value of
different types of open space and the impact of development.
Another continuing and critical task of the Committee is to foster
communication with and among town boards and departments with
respect to responsibilities set forth in the 1994 Open Space and
Recreation Plan. This Plan continues to be available in the Town
Clerk's office.

COASTAL POLLUTION CONTROL COMMITTEE
Wayne Castonguay, Chairman
Following over three years of research, the Coastal Pollution
Control Committee (CPCC) completed its Final Report in 1995. The
report summarized the committee's research into the sources of
coastal pollution, and made recommendations to the Town for
addressing the problem.
The committee identified well over 100 sources of pollution
responsible for the closure of our shellfish beds. The sources
were identified primarily by the analysis of 779 water samples
collected from 151 locations and through a visual shoreline survey.
-79-
The committee also conducted animal (farm, pet, wildlife)
population, septic system, and boat inventories, and analyzed the
Town's sewage system.
The main sources of contamination are:
a) Animal fecal wastes deposited directly into waterways by semi-
domestic waterfowl and farm animals.
b) Animal fecal wastes deposited on developed land by pets, farm
animals, and wildlife and flushed into waterways during rain
storms.
c) Failed septic systems.
d) The municipal sewage system.
e) Boat.
After an analysis of the problem and a detailed review of solutions
that have been used in other communities, the committee recommended
inexpensive mechanisms for addressing each of the identified
problems. The committee is currently working with the various Town
boards and departments on the implementation of our
recommendations .

THE HALL-HASKELL HOUSE COMMITTEE
Stephanie Gaskins, Terri Stephens, Co-chairmen
The Hall-Haskell House Committee is charged with the administration
of the Hall-Haskell House. The year 1995 was an exciting year of
growth for use of the House. From May to October (Wednesdays
through Sundays) , the Ipswich Information Center was open. It is
one of eight national satellite centers with linkage to the
National Park Service. The Center, with the co-sponsorship of the
Essex Heritage Ad-Hoc Commission, occupied one downstairs room.
More than 3,000 visitors came through the Center to learn about the
attractions of Ipswich and Essex County. The Center was staffed by
volunteers ably administered by Mary Ruest. Improvements to the
Center included electricity, telephone service, and furnishings.
The Candy Museum, a new addition, was open on the second floor for
the months of July and August. In the downstairs art gallery, more
than 2 different artists exhibited their works which included
woodturning, photography, and other media.
Indoor electricity was improved, outdoor lighting was installed,
and enhancement of gardens and grounds was continued. A grant from
the Massachusetts Cultural Council was awarded to be used for
future refinishing of the floors. Monies for the house and grounds
have been raised through private donations and grants. Nineteen
ninety-five was a very productive year for the Hall-Haskell House
Committee.

COMMUTER RAIL COMMITTEE
William Varrell, Chairman
During 1995, the commuter rail has continued to be an important
asset of our Town, as anyone who has tried to find a parking space
after 6:45 a.m. well knows. With a snow season that began early,
the local availability of train service became more important than
ever. However, it has not been a banner year for the Rail
Committee. With many questions about future funding, the potential
problems of train whistles, and the proponents of the Coastal
Corridor refusing to go away, it should be a time when the rail
committee got the scent that there where important things to be
done and accomplished.
However, after years of being told that we could almost see the
light at the end of the Newburyport tunnel, we wonder if we will
live that long. We would all like to have more parking at the
station, but it doesn't seem possible until stations open in
Newburyport and Rowley. With the Governor proposing local
assessments that few see any possibility of paying, I decided that
there were worthy challenges but new blood would be necessary to
meet them. As a result, I resigned in November, and the Rail
Committee is still looking for a transfusion.
Let me take this opportunity to advertise for commuters who
understand the importance of this service to our town, with the
ideas and enthusiasm to meet the current challenges. After 150
years of rail service to Ipswich, we can't let it slip away, but a
new team and Chairman are needed. Parking, grade crossings, train
whistles, and funding all have solutions for new volunteers who
will accept a reasonable challenge. Let Town Hall hear from you.
Hopefully the light at the end of the tunnel is brighter than we
think it is.

METROPOLITAN AREA PLANNING COUNCIL
Thomas M. Mayo
In order to increase its ability to serve its local communities,
MAPC has made an increasing effort over the past year to add new
programs and technologies that will enhance our existing programs.
The agency recently purchased MassTrac and MuniLaw, two services
that allow MAPC to answer questions on current legislative action
and local zoning and general by-laws. Additionally, the agency
continues to work with the Massachusetts Municipal Association's
Local Net to post information relevant to its communities.
Communities that have a modem and are not yet part of the network
may call MAPC in order to obtain a license that will allow them to
participate in this program.
The agency's Data Center has recently compiled new community
-81-
profiles for each community and has developed new 25-year
population age group and household forecasts for the region. These
projections will be used in planning for new infrastructure, and in
the delivery of municipal services in the region. MAPC's
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) department organized a
municipal GIS user's group that meets to share information and help
one another. The department also received a state grant to conduct
workshops providing technical assistance to local communities on
how to best plan for their own GIS needs.
Transportation issues continue to be a major concern for local
municipalities. MAPC works with them to help get their projects
ready for the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) . The agency
recently hosted a public meeting to provide information on the
Transportation Enhancement Program so that local governments will
have a better chance to make their projects competitive. In order
to improve air quality, the federal and state governments encourage
new and creative approaches under what is called the Transportation
Demand Management Program. MAPC works with local communities to
help them formulate their applications for funding under this
program. Additionally, the year the agency introduced Commuter
Check, a program that utilizes a federal subsidy to allow employers
to provide their employees with a tax free transportation benefit.
Employers can purchase up to $60 a month per employee in travel
vouchers which their workers can use for commuting by bus, boat,
subway, train or van pool. The goal is to reduce the number of
single occupancy vehicles on the road, thus improving air quality,
conserving energy, and easing the overcrowding of the roadways.
Any size business can participate.
Two other transportation-related programs that MAPC has worked on
over the past year are the Greater Boston Clean Cities Initiative
and the Regional Bicycle/Pedestrian Committee effort. The Clean
Cities Initiative is a national program that assists communities
and public agencies in acquiring clean fuel vehicles by assisting
with the incremental cost differences between these vehicles and
conventional fuel vehicles. Through this program, communities have
the opportunity to acquire electric or compressed natural gas
vehicles for use in their municipal fleets. The program, through
the use of Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality funding in the TIP can
subsidize the additional costs associated with purchasing clean
fuel vehicles. The group is also working with the private sector
to help set up the necessary infrastructure to support these new
vehicles. MAPC has acted as the major staff support for the Boston
effort. MAPC staff has also been very instrumental in helping with
numerous bicycle planning efforts in the area including helping to
develop a regional bicycle/pedestrian plan. The agency has
assisted the Bicycle Coalition of Massachusetts in setting up a
series of public meetings as part of their contract with the state
to inventory existing and potential bicycles facilities throughout
the state. The staff has also worked with a number of local groups
and projects including: the North Shore Bicycle Coalition, the
Assabet River Rail Trail organization, the MetroWest/SWAP bikeway,
and the Central Mass. Branch feasibility study.
-82-
MAPC continues to offer its pavement management program to all its
communities. This year, in an effort to increase efficiency and be
more compatible with the other regional planning agencies
throughout the State, MAPC has changed the software it uses to
VHB's Road Manager. For the first time, the agency hired and
trained college students to carry out roadway inspections. This
worked very well, and the agency intends to continue the practice
in the future.
The Council has continued its active legislative efforts on behalf
of its cities and towns. On the state level, MAPC played an active
role in passing, supporting, and/or initiating scores of planning-
related efforts including: the Metropolitan Highway System, the
Open Space Bond Bill, and the Growing Smart legislation. A
successful amendment proposed by MAPC to the Metropolitan Highway
System Bill requires the State to disclose the results in a
feasibility study on creating a dedicated funding source for the
Central Artery to local municipalities for their review before the
State can take any legislative action.
This past year, MAPC placed an increasing emphasis on federal
legislative priorities. MAPC met individually with six members of
the Massachusetts delegation to discuss important federal
legislative initiatives affecting local and regional efforts,
including the Reauthorization of the Economic Development Act
(EDA) , the Safe Drinking and Clean Water Acts, Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) reform, and the reorganization of the Department
of Transportation among the issues.
The agency continues to review and comment on Environmental Impact
Reports (EIRs) that are seen as having regional impacts. Staff
handles hundreds of calls a year asking for information on a wide
range of subjects. They also worked with a variety of local
planning groups and sponsor or co-sponsor several dozen public
meetings a year. In addition to these activities, the agency works
with its eight subregions on various projects generated by the
local representatives who are members of the groups. The North
Shore Task Force includes: Beverly, Danvers, Essex, Gloucester,
Hamilton, Ipswich, Manchester, Marblehead, Middleton, Peabody,
Rockport, Salem, Swampscott, Topsfield, and Wenham.
This past year, this group received a special grant from MAPC to
conduct a North Shore Trails study. That study recommended
establishing a continuous East-West greenbelt to link with the Bay
Circuit and the Border to Boston Trail. The report and
accompanying map has been presented to the local communities.
Additionally, the Task Force secured a Department of Environmental
Management (DEM) Greenways Grant to develop a guide for four of the
groups' communities to help local officials secure linkages between
inland trails and sea paths.
The subregion also sponsored an open space workshop to assist Open
Space Committees and Conservation Commissions in developing open
space plans so the communities would qualify for Land and Water
-83-
Conservation Funds and Self -Help Funds. The North Shore Task Force
meets the second Thursday of the month. These meetings are held in
different communities each month.
MAPC responded to an inquiry from the Town's Planning Board on how
to begin a master plan process that focuses on growth management.

CABLE TELEVISION ADVISORY BOARD
J. Eric Josephson, Chairman
In year 1995, the CATV Advisory Board (CATVAB) held nine meetings.
The sole purpose of these meetings were preparation for the
November 1996 CATV contract renewal. These meetings were a
combination of negotiation strategy and actual negotiations with
Continental Cable TV, the current license holder.
A great deal of headway was made toward a final contract draft to
be presented to the Board of Selectmen for final approval and
signing. Some of the sticking points for negotiations were to do
with the percentage of total build out of the Town by Continental,
insurance bonding, and community access provisions.
Throughout the year, the CATVAB was assisted by Town Council
Kopelman and Paige's William Hewig on matters of contract law and
applicable communications law as it applies to cable television.
Town Council has proven to be invaluable.
********
IPSWICH HOUSING AUTHORITY
Kenneth Blades, Chairman
The Ipswich Housing Authority has concentrated on capital
improvements to all developments during calendar year 1995 rather
than new construction due to the absence of State funding.
An aggressive energy savings program that included conversion from
electric to gas heat, lighting retrofit, and water conservation has
been completed. The savings from this effort is approximately
$98,000.00 per year in energy cost.
A complete road and sidewalk replacement is scheduled for the
spring of 1996 at Agawam Village and Southern Heights. The road
replacement will include extensive drainage work and some
additional parking spaces.
Interior and exterior painting and repairs are scheduled to begin
at Caroline Avenue and Agawam Village as part of the capital
improvement program which is totally financed by the Authority.
The Mixed Population Bill which restricts the number of young
disabled persons that could live in developments for the elderly
-84-
has been addressed by the Authority. The placement goals of the
law have been met by the Authority which stopped the infusion of
underage persons in elderly units.
The Ipswich Housing Authority Board and staff are committed to
providing decent, safe and sanitary housing at a reasonable cost.

GOVERNMENT STUDY COMMITTEE
Scott D. Knowles, Chairman
The committee regrets the passing of its former chairman, Leonard
R. Heurlin, and records its gratitude for his many services to the
Town in this and other capacities.
This year the committee continued its review of the Charter and By-
Laws begun last year. It has filed its recommendations for
amendments in a report to the Board of Selectmen.
********
THE BAY CIRCUIT COMMITTEE
Lawrence G. Eliot, Chairman
The Committee has spent much of its time collecting and editing
materials for The Bay Circuit Guide to Walks in and Around Ipswich
which was just published through the support of businesses and
individuals. The Guide is the first step in developing a complete
description of trails and was constructed with the view of adding
materials as they became available.
Several possible trail developments opened up this year with the
extension of the railroad to Newburyport. The Committee has
supported the idea of Rails-to-Trails and has been working to
establish a link to Newbury. With work on the Sylvania Dam, the
Committee has supported a walkway across the structure linking the
railroad with the South Green. Bike trails linking the Bay Circuit
have also been considered.
The Bay Circuit route through Ipswich has been maintained by the
Committee through organizing clean up crews, trail marking, and
bridge construction.
Trail hikes along the trail have been organized, advertized in the
Chronicle, and led by members of the Committee.
********
CABLE EMERGENCY ROOM ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Mark J. Coltin, Chairman
The Cable Emergency Room Advisory Committee was reactivated in 1995
in response to the threatened closure by Beverly Hospital of the
-85-
Cable Emergency Center.
In early September 1995, Beverly Hospital announced its intended
closure of the Cable Emergency Center on or about October 1, 1995.
In response to that closure, the Selectmen threatened to institute
legal proceedings and to seek a court injunction to prevent such
closure. The basis of the Selectmen's action was that the Town had
entered into a Contract with Beverly Hospital dated July 6, 1987,
which provided for the continued operation of the Cable Emergency
Center. The Selectmen maintained that Beverly Hospital's action in
closing the Cable Emergency Center would be in violation of the
Contract.
In response to the Selectmen's action, Beverly Hospital agreed on
a temporary basis to not close the Cable Emergency Center on
October 1, 1995. Subsequently, George Howe, Town Manager,
appointed the Committee to deal with this issue. Many of the
members of the Committee were on the Cable Emergency Room Advisory
Committee during 1986 to 1987 and were involved in the negotiation
and preparation of the Contract between Beverly Hospital and the
Town.
The Committee immediately decided to send a letter to the President
of Beverly Hospital informing Beverly Hospital of the seriousness
of this situation and, among other actions, requesting Beverly
Hospital to continue operating Cable Emergency Center. That letter
was also sent to the local media. In addition, the Committee
engaged in open and public meetings with representatives of Beverly
Hospital with a view towards addressing the various parties'
concerns and to keep the Cable Emergency Center open.
Beverly Hospital has responded by publicly meeting with the
Committee and by agreeing to keep the Cable Emergency Center open
during the pendency of these discussions so long as the
Massachusetts Department of Public Health does not require closure
of the Cable Emergency Center. Those discussions with Beverly
Hospital are continuing.
The Committee is pleased that despite the threatened closure, the
Cable Emergency Center presently remains open and continues to
provide excellent service to the residents of Ipswich and
surrounding communities.

SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
IPSWICH SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Lawrence Seidler, Chairman
As of September 1995, the total Ipswich student population was over
1800 and continuing to increase at 2-3% per year. With inflation
running 2-3% per year as well, the limits of Proposition 2-1/2 have
made it difficult to maintain consistent funding for the school
-86-
system. The $ per student spent has grown only 10% since 1989,
while inflation has grown by over 2 0% during the same time period.
The growth in enrollment at the elementary levels has now
progressed to the middle school where we find that the space there
is not sufficient to house all our students. A town committee has
concluded that a new secondary school to replace the middle school
is needed for Ipswich students.
In spite of budget and space problems, we continue to run an
innovative and caring school system. Our schools are staffed and
trained for personal attention to each student. There is an
environment which promotes learning while preserving the inherent
worth, dignity, and integrity of each student and celebrating the
richness of the differences that exist within the student body. We
prepare each student for a lifetime of learning in which that
learning helps each student reach his or her potential.
Ipswich Schools offer several advanced placement courses at the
high school and enrichment programs for academically gifted
students at the elementary and middle schools. Ipswich students at
all levels have been among the most recognized in the state in
music, art and drama competitions. Eighty to ninety percent of
Ipswich high school graduates have been going on to further
education, and the schools they have been accepted at are among the
finest schools in the country. Our sports programs include
football, basketball, track, cheer leading, cross country, field
hockey, softball, baseball, and golf, with several sports competing
interscholastically at the middle school level as well as the high
school level. This past year several teams were champions in their
division including the high school girls' basketball team (at the
state level) and the high school boys' track team (at the league
level) .
The Ipswich Public Schools have a growing commitment to using
technology in the classroom, fostering cooperative learning and
self motivation in a project driven environment. We call it the
Ipswich 21st Century classroom. We continue to be visited by other
school systems to view how we integrate computers into the
curriculum at all levels, supporting math, science, music, writing,
technical design, and social studies. At the same time, the math
curriculum in the schools has received considerable recognition as
a result of the middle school math team's success in competition
with much larger schools.
The goal of the schools is to equip students to compete for jobs in
the 21st century while developing in each an appreciation for life
and a motivation to reach a level of excellence in each task
undertaken. The school system staff works to cultivate the
intellectual, emotional, social, and physical growth of all
students as well as to instill life-long habits of inquiry and
thinking so that each may constructively participate in our ever
changing world.
-87-
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Richard F. Thompson
During the last year the Ipswich Schools have continued to change,
improve, and grow at an accelerating rate.
INSTRUCTION
Instruction in our classrooms continues to improve. It improves
when teachers are able to involve and motivate students more
steadily and at much higher levels. This motivation occurs because
teachers conscientiously and deliberately change how they have been
taught to do things over a long period of time to a new standard
which we are calling 21st Century Classroom Instruction . Teachers
in these classrooms seek to make educational goals clearer, to
involve the students more, to make the students much more
responsible for their own learning, and to provide feedback and
assessment on the important learnings rather than just the simple
facts. It's not that facts are no longer important, it's just no
longer sufficient to have a lot of facts which one is unable to use
and apply to this complex world. Colleges are talking about the
need for students who can solve real problems in a real world.
Businesses are talking about having adults who can work in teams
and collaborate for the common good of the company. The same
skills of working together and applying knowledge to solve problems
also enables a closer, more successful family environment.
As you learned in other reports, large numbers of teachers from
schools and colleges throughout the state have visited our
classrooms. We want to be sure you, the citizens who pay for the
schools, know that you are also invited. We hope you will call the
schools to make arrangements for your visit.
ENROLLMENT
The number of our students is drastically increasing. This
reflects in a positive way the healthiness and vitality of our
community. The other side of this equation is that it creates
demands within the schools that are very difficult to meet or, in
some cases, are unmet simply for the lack of resources. This
additional enrollment causes us to convert basement rooms and even
bathrooms for educational use. It forces the schools to increase
class size and, in some cases, employ additional teachers. It is
a stress that comes from success and requires our community and
schools to deal with additional student needs.
All evidence indicates aggressively solving the long-term problem
with state support as the least expensive path. A complete long-
term solution is much more cost effective rather than attempting to
solve it incrementally by ourselves with only our resources. This
will represent a major decision for our community in terms of
effective long-term planning and support for students.
ADMINISTRATION
The administration has changed. Last year the School Committee
authorized a reorganization that resulted in the reduction of half
-88-
an administrative position in the school system in spite of a
growing enrollment. The reorganization involved the reassignment
or employment of five and one-half administrators out of the ten
administrators. The reorganization brought about increased
accomplishment, renewed vigor, reduced costs and greater
performance across the school system.
The world and our society is changing at a very rapid rate. The
challenge to your Ipswich schools for the foreseeable future is to
produce schools that prepare students for the world that is coming
rather than the world that exists or the society that existed when
we were in school
I wish to thank Ipswich citizens for their ongoing support,
feedback, constructive criticism, and general involvement with the
schools. The Ipswich schools are improving rapidly, but the best
interest of our children and citizens will only be served with the
most relevant and rigorous education that our schools can provide.
IPSWICH HIGH SCHOOL
Barry R. Cahill, Principal
Ipswich High School began its school year with a new
administration; joining me as the Assistant Principal is Ms. Joanne
Civitarese. The administrative changeover occurred smoothly with
a wonderful reception by parents and students at the high school.
Our goal will be to make the high school a model for the community
and to offer the very best quality programs possible.
I am pleased to present my first annual report to the citizens of
Ipswich. The 1995-1996 school year began with 407 students
enrolled at the high school as opposed to 389 enrollees in 1994-95.
A freshman class of 109 students replaced a graduating class of 90
students .
In November, an accrediting team of fourteen educators from the New
England Association of Schools and Colleges came to Ipswich High
School for a period of four days. During that time the team
reviewed our entire operation and made recommendations for any
needed improvements. This spring we will receive the report of the
committee detailing both the ways in which we can improve and
defining our accreditation status. In anticipation of the report,
we continue to make strides in school culture and curriculum
despite the restraints of our physical plant.
This is an exciting year for our high school. We are conducting an
in-depth examination of our daily schedule as we anticipate changes
necessary to align our school with the requirements of the
Education Reform Act of 1993. A focus on student-centered
instruction will merge with an evaluation of how best to divide and
utilize time during the school day. The end result should be a
more vigorous and demanding set of challenges for our students,
focusing their time on classroom experiences as opposed to the
inclusion of study halls.
-89-
Based on the success of our Junior year interdisciplinary program
entitled "American Studies," the English and Social Studies
departments are piloting a program for students in grade nine
called "Humanities." This interdisciplinary course assists in
linking the studies of various disciplines to provide a more
cohesive approach for instructing young people. We are evaluating
the inclusion of similar programs in the future.
Our athletic teams and Fine Arts department continue to experience
great successes. These programs enable students to demonstrate
their abilities and talents in a very public manner. Our Art,
Drama and Music program continues to be of the very highest quality
and should be source of great pride to the community.
In preparing students to function well in the 21st century, we
continue to expand our exciting use of technology. Computers are
increasingly becoming a part of each student's day. Our integrated
use of technology will continue as our 21st century classrooms
expand .
The class of 1995 saw seventy-five percent of our graduates go on
to further education at four year colleges. An additional ten
percent of our students chose two-year colleges. The remainder
have begun their careers or postponed the college decision.
Once again, I would like to express my thanks to the Ipswich
Community for their warm welcome in my first year. Students,
faculty and parents have been supportive as we begin to work
together to insure the best education for each of the students
attending Ipswich High School.

R.C. WHIPPLE MIDDLE SCHOOL
Cheryl B. Forster, Principal
I am pleased to be reporting to the citizens of Ipswich in my first
year as principal. We began the 1995-96 academic year with renewed
enthusiasm and energy, prepared to face the challenges of educating
students in today's world. There is a combined total of more than
600 years of teaching experience at our school. The teachers are
the experts who know their work better than anyone else.
One of the goals of IMS is to maintain the quality of our
exceptional programs as we continue to operate in a beautiful but
older building which was constructed in 1936. Classrooms are very
crowded, and we must be very creative to meet the needs of our
students.
A middle school is not a "little high school" and our programs
address the development of the whole child. We have here a
student-centered, exploratory environment which offers a variety of
learning opportunities and experiences. It is a time of great
emotional, as well as physical and social growth. It is an
exciting place to be.
Students have an opportunity in grade six to attend five days at
Nature's Classroom, an intensive week focused on curriculum
outdoors with a variety of activities that build self-esteem and
cooperative learning. They also learn about their own local
environment in a Marine Studies unit that incorporates all of their
subjects. Much of this time is spent in the marsh, at the beach,
and on the ocean. Students have one half-year in a "Kiva" cluster
focusing on personal QUALITY. During this period, they learn TQM
techniques and processes and experience self-directed time
management and design-culminating projects to share.
Our students get to know the Ipswich River and her fascinating
history. Grade seven students spend four days in a canoe, seeing
first-hand where the river starts and ends. They "dig" not only
into books and local lore, but also into the archeology-rich
landfills here in our schoolyard. Grade eight keeps track of the
pulse of the river as they collect data that indicates how our
water reacts with the weather, tides and climate. This theme
continues as they spend five days in Washington, D.C., learning
about the operation of our government, visiting famous landmarks,
and studying about the people and places that make this country
great.
Our mathematics program continues to produce students who love and
excel in math. A large percentage of our students feel that it is
"fun" to participate in a very competitive mathematics league.
They have earned a reputation as leaders in this area as a result
of consistently high scores in regional meets.
Our drama, music and video production departments continue to
provide rich experiences for students in the areas of design,
-91-
performance, and creativity. This is combined with Life Skills and
Technology Education to afford hands-on learning for every student.
Technology has an ever-increasing role in our culture and in our
education system. The students are very comfortable with these new
tools, and we are expanding opportunities for their use. The
instruction in classrooms is becoming more and more student-
centered, and the teacher often "guides" the students through
their academics with the help of different types of technology.
Computers, modems, faxes, scanners, laser video disks and digitized
cameras all have a place in the modern classroom. Our teachers are
acquiring new skills in this area; combining those with their
teaching experience is resulting in better and more engaging
learning. We are piloting a project called "Electronic Portfolio"
in grade eight. All students are creating and collecting
representative work in all subject areas using a variety of
technologies. Through the help of a grant, these students will
hopefully be the first to travel to the high school with a CD-ROM
disk that they have made themselves. This disk will show
prospective employers and colleges what each individual student can
actually do. It can contain graphics, video, audio and text. This
project is leading educational reform initiatives in this state.
In this time of dwindling resources, we have had to rely on outside
sources with great results. IMS has an active parent group known
as the Whipple Parents Association (WPA) that has contributed
funds, ideas, and organization in a myriad of ways. KOMMITTEE FOR
KIDS supports the school with much needed items through their
fund-raising efforts. EBSCO and NYNEX, our corporate partners,
have made immeasurable contributions and improved the education of
every student .
We are a team of professionals who are working diligently to
clarify our vision for education, govern ourselves, and create the
learning environment that we all deserve. Nothing could be more
important. Please join us. We are on the way to being the very
best.
PAUL F. DO YON MEMORIAL SCHOOL
Kenneth B. Cooper, Ph.D., Principal
The calendar year 1995 was a year of significant growth at the Paul
F. Doyon Memorial School in several key areas: The long-needed and
long-awaited addition to the school was completed. We were able to
occupy the new rooms in the fall. All students are now educated in
regulation size homerooms. Our new library provides a cheerful and
inviting space for student learning, and our computer lab now has
its own room allowing much more flexible use of both the computers
and the library. We were also able to bring back to Doyon the pre-
school and extended learning programs which had to leave years ago
due to the shortage of space. Our fine arts programs no longer
have to work from the stage or mobile carts, and thus what they can
offer students is greatly enhanced. In sum, it's wonderful! To
celebrate the opening and to demonstrate our appreciation for the
-92-
support of the citizens of Ipswich who helped to make the addition
a reality, the entire school marched through the center of town on
October 25 in a "Thank You" parade.
The additional space came just in the "nick of time" as the Doyon
enrollment jumped in the fall of 1995 to 480 students K-5 from 462
just a year ago. Including the preschool programs, Doyon now has
over 510 students. When I arrived in Ipswich in 1987, Doyon had a
total enrollment of 380.
The instructional program has also been evolving. Our focus
continues to be educating for the "21st Century." Our challenge is
to deliver an educational program that is focused and rigorous
while at the same time responsive to emerging needs of a rapidly
changing society. Last year we expanded our "21st Century"
instructional initiative; and teachers at all grade levels have
been integrating skills-based learning, "quality" concepts, and
technology into their programs.
More than ever before, we have been working on helping children to
develop problem solving and critical thinking skills. Our reading
program, which balances Won Way phonics with a whole-language
literature approach, is emphasizing inferential and analytical
reasoning skills as opposed to simple comprehension and recall.
Problem solving was also focus for our science program, and we
increased efforts to involve students in real science experiences
rather than merely asking them to memorize terms. The "writing
process" was again the cornerstone of our program in composition
and was highlighted by our annual "Young Author's Week" and evening
program for parents.
The math program continues to emphasize skills such as problem
solving, estimation and mental math as recommended by the National
Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Last year we expanded our use
of the Everyday Math Program from the University of Chicago that
focuses on math concepts. Multiplication, division, fractions, and
decimals, for example, are introduced as early a grade one, and
basic algebraic concepts are taught in grade three.
Our Fine Arts and Physical Education programs continue to be very
strong as well. Over seventy percent of our grade four and five
students take a band instrument. Last year the string program was
expanded. Our art program has been the focus of several articles
published in School Arts magazine written by Mrs. Joan Frank. The
Doyon Physical Education Department continues to emphasize
flexibility and fitness as well as skills.
Last year the Doyon School Council recommended a 1995 schoolwide
focus on student "responsibility," and the School Improvement Plan
advocated a) students taking responsibility for their actions and
behaviors as individuals; b) students assuming a role in setting
and then rigorously pursuing learning goals; and c) students
contributing to the larger society through responsible citizenship.
As a result of related efforts (including a focus on "peaceable"
-93-
classroom techniques) by the faculty, student behavior improved,
with "serious incidents" reduced by more than 50%. Students
assumed more jobs around the school, with the support of the
Friends they helped top raise many hundreds of pounds of food for
local food banks, and also purchased a water pump for a village in
Nicaragua by donating and then reselling their own toys.
Other highlights of 1995 included: 1) the hot-topping of the
playground thanks to the efforts of the Friends of Doyon with
additional contributions from the Kommittee for Kids; 2) the many
visitors to the school who came to see our programs from as far
away as Japan; 3) the special assemblies and classroom programs
sponsored by the Friends; 4) the After-School Activities program
also sponsored by the Friends; 5) mention of our technology program
in the Boston Globe; and 6) an ongoing and highly successful
inclusion program for students with special needs.
On this the occasion of my eighth annual report, I would like to
extend a special thanks to the incredibly dedicated and talented
faculty and staff of the Doyon School, and to the large number of
parent helpers, volunteers, and fabulous Friends of Doyon whose
involvement and support are a great help to us as we continue on
our mission to do great things for kids.
WINTHROP SCHOOL
Carolyn Davis, Principal
The calendar year 1995 was one of continued professional growth and
commitment from the Winthrop School community to continuous quality
improvement. The goal of preparing our students for the 21st
century was more clearly defined by the Winthrop School Council in
our School Improvement Plan. The Winthrop staff, students, and
parents were involved in the development of many programs to
achieve this goal. All our students were involved in resourcing
information, thinking critically and creatively, finding the most
effective ways to present knowledge and information, and
integrating technology in their work. Classrooms became more
authentic workplaces where students were treated as responsible and
capable learners. They worked together in teams to complete
projects as they learned and applied basic skills. Students
discovered that using technology appropriately as a tool enhanced
their access to information around the world.
Winthrop School was represented at national conferences, workshops,
and schools by many presentations conducted by a variety of staff.
Visitors from other school systems continued to learn from our
example and observed our following programs:
*21st century classroom initiatives
*Shared Leadership Team
*Volunteers in School
*Inclusion of all students in our school community
*Early Childhood
-94-
Our enrollment continued to increase with some class sizes peaking
at 25 students. The addition of multi-age classrooms where
students spent more than one year with the same teacher and
benefited from flexible grouping for instruction was a successful
accomplishment. The addition of these classrooms helped offset
some of the challenges faced with increased enrollments.
We would not have been able to provide the quality programs that
were offered this year without the help and dedication of our
parents. The Friends of Winthrop and Volunteers in School program
made major contributions of time, fundraising, and effort. The
fundraising projects significantly increased financial support for
the school in the areas of special programs, playground
improvements, instructional resources for teachers, and after-
school programs. The Winthrop staff and I are appreciative of this
tremendous commitment and support.
I am proud to be writing my fifth Town Report and to be a member of
such an outstanding learning community. The Winthrop staff is the
best I have ever worked with; our parents are integral partners in
the school's success; and our students continue to be responsible
thinkers who have a strong sense of belonging to Winthrop. We are
sincerely grateful to be the recipients of such an educationally
supportive community.

TRUST FUND COMMISSION
William G. Markos, Chairman
The Trust Fund Commissioners held seven open meeting public
sessions during the calendar year 1995. The Commissioners approved
a request from the Historical Commission for $500 to be transferred
from the Harold Bowen Trust Fund for a consultant to establish the
validity of what is believed to be a Cordwainer's shop at the Wade
House on Wood's Lane. Also approved was a transfer of $2,100 from
the Municipal Insurance Fund for repairs to the Central Fire
Station, which was damaged when a truck was backing into the
building. Also approved were funds for scholarships for the Class
of 1995 Ipswich High School graduates, including one award of
$5,000 in memory of the late Carl A. Pescosolido, Jr., two awards
of $2 00 each from the Eunice C. Cowles fund, and one award of $600
from the Cornelius Thibeault Fund. The Commission also approved
the expenditure of $3,818 from the Crane Beach Picnic Fund for
school children.
The Commissioners would like to thank Town Treasurer/Collector
Virginia Cleary for her helpful assistance during the past year.
William G. Markos was appointed by the Board of Selectmen to
replace outgoing member Walter J. Pojasek, who served for three
years, two of them as chairman.
